was run on an engine stand and a video was made. Power is delivered
to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741)
with a four-wheel drum braking system. Complete with jack, Porsche
Kardex, and boot cover. A great opportunity to acquire a matching
number factory Super 356B Cabriolet originally finished in a rare
color combination of Oslo Blue with Red leather interior!
